course details
In a busy world every minute counts and there is often very little time for an English language course. The Weekender is an excellent and enjoyable way to maximise time spent learning English.
The Weekender is an English language immersion experience. It is more than a language course. English is spoken all the time and there is a lot of contact with teachers who take part in conversation and correct any mistakes made. There are also important social and tourism elements giving participants a well-balanced, enjoyable and useful weekend. Special features of our Weekender programme include:
- English language classes at two levels
- Focus on improving communication
- Very small classes
- Conversation practice with a teacher in a relaxed social environment
- Two afternoon excursions with native English speakers
People on the Executive Group or Combination Course at the Language Training Centre may also like to book our Weekender course. This course can be booked for a mid-course weekend, as an add-on at the beginning/end of a course, or as a separate stand-alone course.
accommodation details
Standard or executive homestay accommodation or hotel accommodation is available. Our partner hotel is The Express by Holiday Inn, just around the corner from the School and within easy walking distance of the city centre.
